Trump bashes NH protester: 'That guy's got a serious weight problem'

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump insulted a protester's weight Thursday evening at his rally in Manchester, New Hampshire.

“That guy’s got a serious weight problem,” Trump said as several protesters were escorted out of the arena. "Go home. Start exercising."

"Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do,” Trump continued. “Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"

Rally attendees also began booing at the protesters and chanting "USA!" Trump was interrupted by the protesters after criticizing Democrats for describing political opponents as "fascists and Nazis."

Seconds after criticizing the protester's weight, Trump went back to his remarks, immediately telling his supporters "our movement is built on love."

Although Trump often slams protesters at his rally, he has never commented on their weight.

It let trump get a little taste of his own insults slammed back at him

'What does that guy weigh? 280 or something': Andrew Yang calls Donald Trump fat and a slob, challenges him to a push-up contest and says 'America would love to see you pass out'

Oh yeah. I'd challenge Donald Trump to any physical or mental feat under the sun. Oh god. What can that guy beat me at? Being a slob?,' he said.

8. He didn't insult the protestor's weight, he lied about it.

This is an example of how a lie wrapped in a sensational offense can be mistaken as fact while everyone is focused on the sensational offense.

The fat, fucking orange lard ass has the nerve to call someone else fat? As usual, he is completely unaware of what a hideous, obese, bloated POS he is. How dare he criticize someone else for the way he looks.

And before anyone gets on my ass about fat shaming him, I only do it because he consistently fat and looks shames other people without taking into consideration his own extreme physical shortcomings. He is just a repulsive human being both inside and out.
